Donald trump should drop dead
I prefer that he gets locked in syndrome for a few years. A taste of hell before he goes to the real one.
Personally, I’m hoping we can strip the family of enough wealth that they’re all left destitute. Anything less will just encourage copy-cats.
Copy cats? Trump is the copy cat. The original was born in 1889 in Austria.
Nah, let them keep an income of $80k/yr each. Make a reality show out of old money trying to live modestly as middle class. I’d subscribe to HBO Max for that.
Also make sure there’s an accountant with some charisma to explain their bank account balance in every episode. Need to make sure they aren’t getting other sources of income. Ideally, make the accountant a black woman. Not like a skinny pretty one like you’d find hosting the news…no, an angry, overweight, black mom. She’ll be the host too.
I’d happily settle for a massive stroke with aphasia and a droopy face.
How would we know?
Like what happened to that dude from Metallica’s “One”
Nothing but his own internal monologue and no interaction with the rest of the world? That’s basically a campaign rally for him. He’d love it.
No he wouldn’t. There would be no one to give him external validation, which extreme narcissists crave.
Ranting and raving in his own mind, with no one to tell him he’s a good boy or the yugest, bigliest smartest man to ram the ramparts, would be the worst kind of hell he could suffer.
Saying this on Reddit would literally get you a ban. Wild. I love Lemmy.
Reddit should drop dead.
Reddit: I’m doing my fuckin best!
Really does seem that way, huh? They’re speed running killing their website.
I’ve seen comments removed for saying this here on lemmy. I think it depends on the context and the mod.
I’ve seen less getting removed/banned it’s entirely dependent on the mod
Well you can report anything. Saying someone dropping dead is obviously sarcasm or a joke if you will. Saying specifics changes the tone. And then there is the whole text to human aspect where one person can read it totally different than another person.
Sometimes you have to get creative. I once suggested the idea of doing an impression of Lyudmila Pavlichenko and nobody said anything.
Ha! That’s amazing
There are some lemmy communities/instances that are very pearl clutching / boot licking. There’ll be a story about like a billionaire eating live puppies or a cop murdering someone and getting away with it, and anything along the lines of “maybe someone should forcibly stop them” is removed.
Or glitch like mitch
Personally, I’m hoping he shits himself to death on live television at the convention.
I mean, duh.
He should have dropped out when he was found to have raped someone.
Hell, he should have dropped out when the “grab them by the pussy” tape came out. How did that work out?
Go vote for Biden if you can, is my point here.
Walking into dressing rooms because they “just let you”
… of children.
Morally should he drop out? Yes
Politically should he drop out? Honestly, not sure. I genuinely believe that him being found guilty will not negatively affect his supporters. Somehow I reckon it might even get him more if he can spin it right - talk about it being some sort of conspiracy directly from Biden to suppress right wing voters or some shit. He’s such an effective figurehead that I don’t think other republican candidates could compete with his pull.
him being found guilty will not negatively affect his supporters
Yes, but they were going to vote for him anyways. Trump needs to win more moderates/alt leftists. His betting odds (which are generally much more reliable than polls) dropped 3% after his verdict landed: https://electionbettingodds.com/
I mean it makes sense. There are bets for everything. But the political betting odds website SENT me. Do you have anything to back up that they are more reliable than polls? I’m genuinely curious.
Betting odds tend to be good prediction methods because people who spend time doing analysis will bet on one side if that sides odds are better than the market is giving it credit for. As an example, my stats professor in 2016 bet 1000$ on Trump, not because he wanted Trump to win, but because he saw the betting market was only giving Trump like 30% odds, whereas my prof estimated it was closer to 35 (or something). For the record, the polls had Trump at like 2% during this time.
Haha that’s so interesting that your stats prof can make some extra dollars on the side through analysis. That’s a huge discrepancy between the betting odds and the polls
Yes, but he’s not going to.
This article is a waste of electrons.
alternative title: career criminal should have integrity
Believe me👐, the best campaign managers have told me, everybody’s saying it👆, they’re, saying, “Donald, drop out of the race”. 🖐That would be an absolutely beautiful election move. 🤚Just terrific. 👋It’s true! ✊️Nobody could drop out of a race better than I could☝️
Not bad Trumpspeak, but you’ve got one glaring error in there. Any time he quotes someone, that totally-not-made-up person calls him “sir.” Nobody would dare refer to the god-king by his first name!
Also he needs to add some slurs.
The “bad dentures” kind or the “racist bigot” kind, dealer’s choice.
I wasted electrons with your mom last night.
(I had no business trying to beat her at Mario Kart)
No he won’t.
The irony of which is that; if he did, and Hailey ran instead, she likely would win over Biden. IMHO
But crazy gonna crazy. So here we are.
I think there’s a nontrivial number of voters with the opinion “anyone but these two” so if either side put up a fresh candidate, they’d probably win. They won’t, but you know.
He’s now barred from owning a gun, but people want to give him the nuclear football? 🤔
No, they are depending on him just passing it along to Putin.
Barred from owning a gun ? Because he was convicted ?
You can’t own a gun if you’re a convicted felon.
You can’t legally. Let’s face it, there are still ways if they want to. No thanks to lax laws and enforcement of those laws.
We’d like that. Something tells me that both people who read Washington Monthly aren’t going to inform his followers.
Yes, the sky is blue and water is wet
But water isn’t wet.
He won’t. His goal at that point is to avoid the consequences of his actions and abusing presidential powers is the best chance he has for that.
If you think that the last election was a mess, wait to see the next one. Trump has nothing to lose anymore and will reach new lows in hopes to save his own selfish ass. He has demonstrated again and again already that he lacks the moral capacity to do otherwise.
I’m waiting for the whole “Our founding fathers were criminals, and we elected them to represent us, so what’s wrong with me” type of argument.
I’m kinda hoping that with an actual American in the White House this time any and all rioters that attempt to enter the Capitol building this coming January are met with volley fire and bayonets.
LMAO. That’s not going to happen. I would love it but there’s a better chance of snow in August.
Downvoted not because I disagree, because this might be the most pointless set of words ever written.
Anyone remember Al Franken?
Al Frankens political career got fully William Wallaced in public view for nothing while Donny Two Scoops raised millions after becoming a convicted felon.
I hate this country most of the time these days.
Yup. And Franken stepped down for merely being accused of something.
Was he accused of anything other than a silly prank photo where he was pretending to grope a woman?
If I remember correctly, he was also accused of kissing her on her lips without her consent.
I call that, integrity.
Remember when just making a weird scream during a rally was enough to end your entire presidential candidacy?

Some days I get ice cream from the small local dairy. Those are pretty much the good days.
Does anybody remember the 1980’s being the “Al Franken decade”?
Sometimes I think about how different this country would be if he was never forced out. I wonder if he would have run for president in 2016.
If only.
He can’t. It’s his only chance of staying out of prison.
Donald Trump has never once in his life put anyone else’s needs ahead of his own greed.
He cut his own nephew off from medical care.
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/trump-cut-medical-benefits-his-nephews-infant-child/
And money should grow off trees! And monkeys should fly!
He should have dropped out 8 years ago. He didn’t then and he won’t now.
I’d say it’s probably more than 8, but you’re still not wrong.
Grifter gonna grift. He’ll use this to his money making advantage till he is forced out.
